Default Re: doesn't audi have a 10 year warranty on emission control devices?
The federal rule is 8 years or 80,000 miles which ever comes first. So, no.

Not sure. Mine was on an AEB in a 1999.5 A4. What are you installing on?

Default Have Audi reflash the ECU if applicable. That fixed this problem in my car two years ago.
Alternatively, if the cats are sound, just move the O2's back behind the secondary cats.
